The presentation consists of 14 slides.

Target audience: 8 - 11 year olds
Give your students a lesson they asked for: on money and internet safety. Together with Childnet we asked students across the UK what they need help with and internet safety came up. We then wrote this fun and practical lesson plan that will show young people how it’s possible to spend money through a smartphone, how this can happen and what to watch out for to not end up with unexpected charges.
From TV voting for their favourites and in-app purchases to mobile gaming and online ads, you will help your students learn how to think critically about money and internet safety.
You will get:
• a Teacher’s Pack that tells you all you need to know about the topic, step by step instructions for delivering the lesson and ideas for fun extra activities
• a Powerpoint presentation for you to use, with plenty of examples of good or services that might cost real money, charged to their phone bill
• a Students’ Pack with worksheets and information card, with a special extra: a Test an adult quiz and diploma.
We are the Phone-paid Services Authority, the UK regulator for content, goods and services that get charged to a phone bill. We asked Childnet to help us create this lesson because they’ve been working for years with schools across the UK. Their resources have been used by thousands of teachers here on TES so you’re guaranteed an excellent lesson plan.

Students complete a classroom audit and explain how appliances are used in their homes and classroom each day. They will represent data with objects and drawings where one object or drawing represents one data value.

Students wil be able to classify a range of everyday appliances in terms of their energy usage and record and tally items around the classroom and at home.

Put pupils into 6 groups at 6 stations round the room.
Pupils are given a card with a circuit diagram on it, they must build the diagram and then flip over the card.
At the next station, they have to draw the circuit diagram and then take apart the circuits.
At the next station they have to build the circuit based on the diagram they see, then throw away the diagram.
They game continues for as long as you want it to!
This assesses and develops their circuit building and drawing skills.
It also shows them why it's so important to draw circuit diagrams carefully.
I've printed this double sided, then laminated so that they can draw the circuit on the back in whiteboard pen.
Enjoy!
Please review!

A simple website research/inquiring challenge - students use the Ducksters website to help answer the questions.
